Hi CacheHunter83,

The cache appears to be in need of owner intervention. I'm temporarily disabling it, to give the owner an opportunity to check on the cache, and take whatever action is necessary. Please respond to this situation in a timely manner (i.e., within 28 days) to prevent the cache from being archived for non-responsiveness.

If you require more time please be sure to **post a note** (not an email) explaining the situation and how much more time you require. For ongoing issues please ensure you visit the listing and post a new note every 28 days to keep everyone up to date, if you do not then you cache may be archived without further note from a reviewer. Caches archived due to lack of maintenance are no longer unarchived and you will need to submit a replacement as a new cache.

No joy. Spent a good 15 mins looking in all likely spots. Nothing around but lots of rubbish

Couldn’t find it??

Found:)

TFTF

It took a while to find and was harder than I thought.

A straightforward find, thanks. The new log is a bit damp...

TFTC signs of repair, good job. Log sheet wet after recent rains

Tftc

Looks like this one had been muggled as container was empty. I had my caching kit on hand so was able to replace log, pencil and a few starter trinkets. TFTC

Nothing in this? Needs maintenance

found the container opened with nothing in it a few metres away from GZ today

TFCT

Found while in the area with some time to kill. I wandered around the GZ looking in a bunch of different hiding spot and was about to give up when I spotted it in its easy placement. TFTH

After a quick read of the log. Quick find.
Tftc

I did not go in because it did not seem safe

Pretty hard fine 4 meters away from the pin point

Was far from marker but I moved it closer Great hiding spot took about 30 min

Kind of hard - covered in leaves

Found it

Couldn't find it, it must be well hidden.

Easy as

Nope

Decomposing kangaroo only.

Ok

Found a very stinky decomposing kangaroo but unfortunately no cache.

An after work cache! More to come.

Probably just my bad eyes

After my 12 week appointment I took the opportunity to be south side to do some more of the plenty caches down here.
Quick find, all in good order. Walked over the empty field to this one.

Thank you CacheHunter83 for putting the cache out and maintaining it.

Nice quick one to round out my numbers!
Thank you

Awesome spot, well hidden!

No soccer going on today so a quick locate , sign and scoot .
Many thanks for the cache hide.

A bit bristly from all the trees but good fun. Forgot a pen

Found with mini hiker on the most beautiful winter day. Great hide

Little bit of pushing through the trees, but a nice easy find for the kids.

Couldn’t resist the quick dash over to log this one while waiting at soccer training this evening. All in excellent condition now thanks to the replaced logbook, though did cop the occasional stick to the eyeball battling through the trees in the dark!

Day Fourteen in Queanbeyan.
BettyBoo3747 and I had a bit of a run down the Old Cooma Road in the rain, and when it eased a windy trip back through the suburbs.
Took a while to locate this one, and when we did, it was soaked.
Wiped out, cleaned O-ring, and replaced logbook.
Thanks, Robmc.

#15836. Day 14 of our 2 weeks holiday in the ACT and surrounds. We are staying at Carwoola.

We persevered with Plan A for the morning even though the heavens had opened during the night and it was still pouring when we left home. We gathered up most of the ones along Old Cooma Road although there were rivers running through all the road works along this section. After our pretty and scenic drive through the countryside we wended our way home tortuously through the suburbs collecting some caches for the Mapping Challenge. Collected 42 smilies for the day.

We had lunched across the green in the carpark and now we are back here to search for a sneaky cache. We were forewarned and forearmed bringing maintenance across with us. Finally, Rob found the container in its wet and manky condition. We wiped it out, cleaned around the blue seal, took all the manky stuff with us and left a new log book in a clean plastic bag. I also left my avatar pathtag today. Hopefully, the container will now remain in good condition as we could not see anything wrong with the container itself.

Thanks CacheHunter83

A day of cache collecting around Canberra - mostly with the aim of filling in a few suburbs, but scattered other caches included. As in previous logs, cache was saturated so unable to sign. TFTC!

Day 11: Clear Waters Mega Trip

Today was the day to attack the Southside of Canberra picking up our targeted caches.

Thanks CacheHunter83 for being part of my Clear Waters adventure.

Found on 15/4/19 09:00. Coords a bit inaccurate but using some log hints and searching in obvious locations the cache was found. Needs maintenance as the logs are soaked. Have sent photos to confirm find to owner. TNLN TFTC. The autumn leaves complicated the search somewhat too.

Took a little bit to find, especially when cautious about snake season but found it in the end. TFTC!

I did not find it I went through spiky wood it hurt me and I found nothing 0 stars

Second DNF of the day. GPS on the phone was all over the place, and the geokids were getting ratty,so 15min looking was enough before we left.

Nice find. A bit damp inside the box.

Quick find with Justjessie

Quick find with O319.

Tftc no.13

Quick find today having tried without luck about a year ago. Log damp. Tftc!

Too old and wet to sign logbook but I found it!!

Great find.

Must be well hidden, I could not find this one.

Based on very specific photos on log fairly certain this one is missing. We spent twenty minutes searching with no luck.

nice and easy find
Thanks for the cache

Nice and easy find
Thanks for the cache

Easy find amidst the spikey bushes

Found cache and managed to sign but log is saturated and needs to be replaced. TFTC

Found and managed to sign it but the contents are completely soaked.

Eventually got it. GPS jumping all over.

Nice Mini-Bush walk, log is a bit damp though.

Blackberry bushes everywhere!

Nice quick find this afternoon, on a lovely cool afternoon. Signed log, and was out of there. TFTC CacheHunter83

Found it after a bit of a mini bush walk

Thanks, a bit damp though.

Thanks

After some soccer practice with mini-Chykken, we decided to check this one off our list. TFTC

Hard to locate but found it in the end : )

Log pretty wet and smelly but still managed to sign. TFTC.

Found with Smittengranny and Kittykatch while out on a caching day.. Cache was a bit soggy but able to sign. TFTC

Found this afternoon while caching with Kittykatch and Joolay. Thanks for the cache. SL

There is so much leaf litter, small trees and fallen trees, hard to find anything in there, also freaked out about snakes. Too hard for this time of day

A couple of lads with a wheelbarrow and a pick axe wandering around but they went one way into the bushes and I went the other! Coordinates good for me and made a quick find. Log was very wet but was able to sign, thanks for the cache!

Tftc. Took longer than it should have, but after consulting mrs Jaybeem on the phone, and her pointing out a previous log, I soon had cache in hand.

Not a nice area, full of rubbish. Whatever happened to Emu Parades?? Was lucky to find the cache - thank you

I was down this way on a Meetup walk, and discovered that there were 2 quite new Geocachers also on the walk ... so ... after the post walk coffee, the 3 of us (the 2 person team - Noelil, and I) decided to wander over and grab the nearby cache ... or 2 ... or 3 ... LOL
TFTC - This was the third one ... walked through the undergrowth towards the building then realised we had to walk back through most of it to get to GZ ... took a couple of minutes with all 4 of us looking, until I looked in the right spot

Log was damp

#8239 @0740
A quick find on my way to meet up with AngelG27 for a couple of hours caching in the south. TFTC.

After doing a cpr update I decided to go for a caching run around the local area.
I found this cache about 5m off coordinates. Took a bit of a search. Since the GPS kept moving I searched within 20m ring totally overlooking the tree I was supposed to find. Still I had a photo of itcso wouldn't leave till it turned up. The nearby oval in full use. Lovely to see so many families out. Cache is in good order.

Very busy here this morning. Log sodden but managed to sign

Nice zebra

First one we found

It was a bit difficult for geokids. Lots of leaves.

Found 6m South of gps location. Is completely soaked through.

Oh! Beware of blackberry in the scrub!!

I've lost my purple Fitbit! If you find it please message me! Thanks

TFTC first cache without friends.

One of 10 caches I found between 1am - 3am Monday morning in -3 degrees temperatures!
I had to take someone to the hospital (nothing terrible) and they told me to go kill some time while I waited for them to be discharged! So what better than to do a completely unprepared caching run in the freezing cold with only my phone light and 40% battery!

This was probably the scariest cache of the night, even though it was a short walk it was still the longest walk I did to any cache as I was only getting pure drive-by's since I couldn't last more than 5 mins in the -3 degree temperature.

Now the reason this was scary is because I was walking across the empty field and I spotted something in the distance. Something quite large and out of place, I thought this was a field?

As I got closer I noticed it was a car! A completely burnt out car with police tape around it, an empty VB beer carton, and a few bottles. Woah this was weird. It had police tape around it but I am amazed how people had the courage to have a party here and completely burn a car right in the middle of this field, only inches from peoples houses!

The cache took a few mins to find but I got lucky in the end, it was extremely well covered and I looked at its hiding spot a few times before I decided to move some debris on the ground.

Thanks CacheHunter83!

Managed to grab after a short hunt. Container was somewhat damp inside but still able to sign the log OK. TFTC CacheHunter83

Came to check on it in daylight. Contents are wet, but there is a log in a bag which is dry.

Quick find in the dark luckily. There was movement not far from where we were which freaked the geoson out so much that I had to keep watch while I made him grab the cache. However the cache was flooded and the geoson said he couldn't sign the log. I will go back very soon to double check on it. Not that I don't trust my child, but he was in a hurry to get out of there. Tftc!!!

This cache took a few minutes to find because the deciduous trees had added considerable additional camouflage. Once located, the cache and contents were in good condition. Thanks CacheHunter83 for the cache.
